Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has shared details of how Iran agreed to the memorandum of understanding (MoU), Al Jazeera reports.

“After intensive discussions, nearly all members of the Majlis [Islamic Consultative Assembly] supported the text of the memorandum of understanding so that America’s true resolve to respect the rights of the Iranian nation could be tested in practice,” he writes on X.

He adds that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Motjaba Khamenei “played the greatest role in incorporating clauses to safeguard Iran’s national interests”.

Pezeshkian adds that the MoU is the result of months of “dialogue and persistent follow-ups”, and an important step towards stopping war and beginning negotiations.

He notes that Iran “has prepared itself for all options”.
